The Healthcare Business Association (HBA) is UCLA Anderson's home for students passionate about the business of healthcare. Whether you're aiming for pharma, biotech, medtech, payers and providers, digital health, consulting, or investing, HBA is where you'll build the knowledge, network, and confidence to get there.

Why Join

Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-changing industries in the world, and breaking into it takes more than classroom learning. HBA connects you to the people, companies, and opportunities that turn interest into a career — alumni who've walked the path, executives shaping the field, and a community of peers recruiting right alongside you.

What You Get

Industry exposure. From our flagship VITALS Conference to the Executive Speaker Series, hear directly from the leaders defining where healthcare goes next. Career access. Days on the Job site visits, Networking & Career Night, and recruiting connections put you in the room with top employers. A foundation to start from. The HBA 101 Series breaks down the industry's sectors and roles for those newer to healthcare — no prior background required. Real mentorship. Through Dinner for Eight and alumni programming, build genuine relationships with people who want to see you succeed. A community. A tight-knit network of classmates who share your interests and support each other through recruiting and beyond.
